4 Singular Law.

On the night of March 2lst, 1887,
tn g dwelli s house of Mr.. Brewer
at Medical Lake, worth about $4,000
was burned. The fire was supposed
to be the work of an incendiary. At
the time of the fire the house was
unoccupied, tenant family having
removed therefrom only II few days
before, and Mr. Brewer not having
occupied the house in the meantime.
For some cause Mr.. Brewer
occasioned the arrest Of Mrs. Maggie
Brewer, his divorced wife, charging
her with the offense of arson in
burning the building. a hearing
was had before Judge Booge, justice
Of the peace, at which II. &. Griffitts,
Esq, appeared as counsel for de-
fendant and maintained, among
other things, that it was not q crime
against the laws of the territory to
The lady was held to bail, however,
and to-day her case came up before
the grand jury. The jury submitted
the point of law to the court and his
honor Judge Turner instructed them
In substance that it was not the
crime Of arson or any other crime to
burn an unoccupied dwelling house
and that they should report not Il
true bill. The announcement of the
law created much comment and sur
prise. 1t seems that the statute
relating to arson was amended
in 1886 and in the amended
statute this state of. facts was
omitted and not denounced as II
crime. From this decision, which
seems to be unquestionably the law,
it results that any person may burn
an unoccupled dwelling house any
where in this territory with abso-
lutte impunity, so far as any punish
ment therefor Is concerned 1t is q
bad state of affairs, but it cannot he
helped until the legislature meets.
1t is but just to Mrs. Brewer to say
that her friends and neighbors are
unanimous in their expressions Of
belief in her innocence of the very
serious moral, though not legal,
offense with which she is charged.

GOTHAM'S JOURNALISM.
Hot Rivalry Between Rig and Little
Daily Papers.

Special Correspondence.
NEW ToRK, May 3.
The rivalry between the newspapers of tho
city Just now reminds one of the neck and
neck speed in the lH.i quarter stretch of a raco
between thorou. i,l,r"ds. II is probably most
intense between The Herald and The World
Both print mammoth sheets and multiply
supplements until they make the carriers
tired, and both evolve sensational effects that
are startling If not sublime in their audacity.
The standing novelty Of The World is its
pictorial illustrations Of men and events; that
of The Herald is Its elaborate cable CORES
pondence and domestic telegraph service in
which, as usual, 'noney is no object" The
Herald, however, is for the moment neck
ahead in the race, its business jockey having
let out another link in the shape of the most
queerly arranged head lines ever seen i'll
newspaper One day they will be Arranged
across the top Of the paper, the next across
the bottom, on the third they compel you
70 begin reading from the center, and
on the fourth, II you hold the paper at
distance, you may see O Maltese cross
or some other design. The effect is unique,
and many persons buy The Herald just
to see how far the ingenuity of mnn
can go in this direction without running
to seed; but the poor foremen who have To
contrive and arrange "this banner with
strange device" arc in chronic state Of
lunacy.
The New York Star and Morning journal
come next in the field of rivalry but as tho
former is only filly, it il for the moment
one sided contest. Recently there have been
two new entries in the race, one, The Even
ing Sun, penny paper which in single day
went to the front with a circulation of ~,
900, and has made the drivers of the other
afternoon papers sick.
The other candidate for honors and one its
promoters hope TO make a formidable rival to

the outcome OF The Wall Street Ledger

ment To the court in the nature OF
an inquiry as to the construction OF
an act to amend section S25 of chap

up by reason of the burning of a

not being occupied at the time OF
the fire and consequently not arson

Especial Correspondence
NEW York, May
Under the title Of "Memoirs Of Men Who
Saved the Uniop" Col. Dom Piatt has writ
ten book, which has just been published by
Bedford, Clarke q Co., New York and Chi
cago AS IT is very well known that in what
Col Piatt writes, readers will find something
the like of which they cannot possibly find
elsewhere, this book will be much read No
body has ever accused the author OF tame
ness or too flattering an estimate OF others.
On the contrary, he is known to have genius
for removing the veneerng of popular praise
from deified heroes and holding them up in
scant attire
War literature is becoming more interest
ing year by year, and as the distance be-
tween us and the days of strife widens, the
errors born of hate, prejudice and enthusi
asm vanish before tho wiser judgment of
time, and we get the truth. 1t is SO with
the fame OF individuals as well as events. The
dust and smoke of personal prejudice must be
dissipated before true understanding of
their work and character can be arrived at.
And the truth is sure to be reached. 1t is
only necessary to wait with patience. 1t
comes to the surface through the operation OF
the law which the poet limited at when he
said that If IL were crushed to earth it would
rise again.
No record of the days of the war is so I'M
portant as that which has been written by the
hands of men who took part in the conflict,
who saw II from within. Col. Piatt was one Of
! these. Filling position OF honor with ability
permanent, more of a locker on than partici-
pant, His horror of war extinguished his per-
sonal ambition, leaving only sense of duty to
hold him TO the service. This he says, zen
abled me TO look at men and events from the
| standpoint of an observer. and, while claim
ing for myself no superiority of intellect,
well know that my position enabled me 10
coolly measure all that has a right to his
tory"
Abraham Lincoln. Edwin NJ. Stanton, Sal.
mon p. Chase, William IL. Seward and Gen.
eral George II. Thomas are the men whom
MIR. Piatt has given place in his book. He
says:
II saw during the war what see now, and
what will be recognized hereafter when popular
passion shall have subs led, and prejudice en-.
gendered by a deadly strife shall have dsap-
peared, that the armed conflict OF the civil war
